Also unlike for Ukrainians, where you leave to might be incredibly important.
How many Western countries are CCP-infiltrated to the point where a VIP Taiwanese could be at risk even there? Canada for example seems to be completely beholden to the CCP, from the Prime Minister's Office down to city-level CCP police stations. Also, Canada is famously lax on violent crime so a quick car accident or getting one of the persons with extraordinary judicial privilege to kill you is all it takes.
- hnfong 3y agoI think the GP is saying the average commoner should leave before a war starts. If you're a politically important person, well, good luck if war breaks out. During times of peace, the risk isn't as great -- I know a couple "VIP Hong Kongers" who are still abroad and alive (and not like, living in a super reclusive lifestyle), and if CCP wanted they could do the things you mentioned. AFAIK it's generally considered something of a last resort since the CCP wants people to view them as civilized and respecting the rule of law (I know this isn't their image in the West, and they're trying to change it, with mixed success). Which is why I think it's only a real risk if war breaks out.
